Google Picasa for Mac?
Rumor has it that Google will release Picasa for the Mac later this year. Woohoo!
My main beef about iPhoto to Picasa is that iPhoto does not store any data you put in (title, caption, etc) in the actual file. It goes into their own database. Move the pictures, all your work is out the window. Booo.
With Picasa, it’s stated plainly that captions are stored in the JPG file using the IPTC standard, and then hidden a little deeper (search the page for “IPTC standard”) you find that tags are also stored with the file.
Pictures can move, and all the hard work you put into them can too.
